About Hazard Perception Test Part In Dsa Driving Theory Test

Driving a car, van or lorry requires maximum concentration

. Sitting behind the wheel of half a ton of metal, traveling at speed only a few feet from other road users and pedestrians is a huge responsibility. Yet many drivers treat the responsibility, and risks, of driving far too lightly. And sadly, people are still dying and being injured on our roads because drivers are:

driving too fast

driving too close to the vehicle in front

driving whilst using a mobile phone

driving under the influence of drink or drugs

driving inappropriately for the conditions - rain, ice, winter sun.

The government is committed to reducing the numbers killed and seriously injured on Britain's roads by 40 per cent by 2010. The hazard perception element was introduced into the driving test in November 2002 as one of the measures that should help achieve this target by encouraging appropriate training in scanning the road, recognizing at the first opportunity from the clues that a potentially dangerous situation might arise and adopting a driving plan to reduce the risk.
